As others have described it's very orangey and has a lot of fruit smell from all the pineapple and coconut. Taste is quite exceptional I really can't taste the IPA body it's more of a deep fruit juice mixing of pineapple coconut and of course the orange peel. The nutmeg kind of comes off and finish it's a bit strange but it works. Body is dangerously smooth and quite drinkable with a medium but sticky slickness. Price is pretty right at about $4 a can. Probably one of the most interesting beers I've had in a while and I would be glad to have another!

This one pours a lightly hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and a bit of lacing.
This smells like creamy coconut, lightly tart lemon, juicy pineapple, and some wheat, maybe?
This is pretty tasty. I don't get all of the flavors - mainly the nutmeg. I wish I got more coconut, but the pineapple and orange are nicely done. This is lightly done with the lactose, which is just fine with me.
This is lighter bodied, and a little bit thinner than most sour IPAs or milkshake IPAs that you may try.
This was solid enough for me, but not near the top of the pile.

Immediately when I open the can, I smell orange juice and a light undertone of coconut. When it hits the tongue, I can feel the moderate carbonation followed by sourness, although not overwhelming by any means. This beer was delicious. I don’t normally write reviews but I’m amazed this is a beer. It tastes like a great balance of citrusy orange juice, coconut, and an aftertaste of wheat beer. Great for summer and for those who want to break the normal IPA or stout.

Pours hazy orange golden, no head retention.
Smells of orange, pineapple, nutmeg, biscuit and a hint of oak and vanilla.
Tastes of pineapple, coconut, nutmeg, cinnamon, hints of rum, vanilla, oak and toasted biscuit.
Medium to full body, stinging carbonation on the roof of the mouth.
This is based on the painkiller cocktail. It's an interesting mix of fruit and spice that drinks smooth and refreshingly. Weird and probably not for everyone but I am enjoying it and it's nice to see someone try something unusual and isn't just another IPA or stout. Worth trying, I might come back to this.
